Washington City Police Officer Mike Adams responded to a report of a fight in the area of 600 W. Evans Ridge Circle in Washington City, according to probable cause statements written by Adams in support of the arrests.

A man said he was walking home from work when his roommate, 19-year-old Matthew Dmitry Theiszmann, confronted him.

“(Theiszmann) started yelling at him accusing him of stealing his bread,” Adams wrote in the statement.

Theiszmann then grabbed his roommate by the shirt, scratching his shoulder when he grabbed him, the statement said, and pushed him.

The two men walked back to their apartment, where Theiszmann confronted his roommate again. A third roommate, 28-year-old Andrew Cramer Harding, then reportedly gave Theiszmann a knife and told him to threaten the roommate with it, according to the statement.
